Biology Study Abroad

Biology majors are encouraged to consider study abroad through various programs organized by the UNC Study Abroad Office

UNC had a joint degree agreement with (NUS)  National University of Singapore.  For more information: http://studyabroad.unc.edu/nusjdp/index.cfm  Biology course worksheet for NUS:  http://studyabroad.unc.edu/nusjdp/biology.cfm

One of these programs, designed specifically for science majors, is the Trans Atlantic Science Student Exchange Program (TASSEP), which permits students to receive full credit for courses taken at a European university.
